00:02 I have lived a better part of my life here
00:07 for 36 years in Garo Hills and I feel so accepted.
00:11 It was the Garo community that made it happen.
00:15 This little space that you see, we employ about 23 people
00:19 and they're all from the local community.
00:21 Eco tourism, keeping the place naturally green as it was
00:28 from the time we came here, that is of utmost importance.
00:31 So even though we have to build little houses here
00:34 and there, we see to it that, you know,
00:35 we don't have to cut too many trees.
00:37 And I am fortunate for having my husband
00:40 who is a green expert to say he will plant fruit trees.
00:43 Like in this campus, we have about 34
00:46 different kinds of fruit.
00:47 Greendale is open to everybody.
00:50 We have consultants coming, we have sports person coming,
00:53 then we have bikers.
00:56 So it's open to everybody.
